elcid11: I still want someone to try downloading the 8mp file to their phone and see if when you open it, it trys installing some strange game.

I could be crazy, but that's what It seemed to do on my phone.

FYI I was just trying to check the file size to see if it got fixed, I used my phone to do that. But it downloaded so fast, I knew it was still messed up.

But then while trying to delete the file I accidentally opened it. And that is why I assumed this was a huge malware attack.
It tried to install a game.

Breja: This would have been much less disturbing some time ago, when I could still believe GOG will fix it. Right now I feel it's 50/50 whether they will bother, or let the offline installers die and just tell everyone to use Galaxy instead.

AB2012: The 8MB files are .bin files created using InnoSetup (what GOG use for offline installers). They aren't executable on Windows, let alone Android. Your phone may be mistaking them for something else and is trying to open them with another app, but as mentioned earlier, I already compared the faulty 8MB files here to the first 8MB of the genuine ones I have backed up and they are byte identical, ie, the files haven't been replaced with malware, GOG just has broken servers that aren't serving them properly.

AB2012: Anyone else still having problems? I just completely cleared the browser cache along with today's browsing history, quit the browser, completely wiped the cache folder, restarted the browser, and it's still at 8MB.

Edit: The fact it's downloading from "cdn.gog.com" (Content Delivery Network?) makes me wonder if some servers around the world are affected but not others.

Edit 2 : So far myself and groundhog42 (both UK), Mori_Yuki (Austria), Cadaver747 (Russia), randomuser.833 (Germany) and Lhun Duum & BloodScourge (both France) are all seeing the problem, whilst Ketobak (Argentina) and wolfsite (Canada) seem to not be. Maybe the fault lies with GOG's European regional "CDN / cache" server? It would be useful if more people from other countries tested to get a clearer picture.

elcid11: I wonder if this could be related to all the server attacks that just happened with Facebook?

Sarafan: Want to bet that it'll be fixed? :P

Breja: I know it (almost certainly) will, I don't think they'd want to kill the offline installers just yet... and right after the shitstorm with Hitman. What I really meant was, there was a time when the thought would not even occur to me. But now it's pretty much impossible to trust GOG about things like DRM and offline installers. It's obvious the offline installers are a distant second for them after all things Galaxy.

Intead of implicitly trusting GOG, now it's more of a cynical "how likely are they to do it right now" calculation.
